INstall this plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-admin-no-show/

or just use this code.

add_action('after_setup_theme', 'remove_admin_bar');

function remove_admin_bar() {
if (!current_user_can('administrator') && !is_admin()) {
  show_admin_bar(false);
}
}

You can follow this to add a profile link to your menu.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[michaelrichardmurphy]

I’d like to add some custom buttons/functionality to the visual editor in the forums on my site. I have some working code that adds the buttons and functionality to TinyMCE in the WordPress admin for pages and posts but I haven’t been able to get it working in the editor for the forums. Here’s some of that code (exluding the actual JS) that adds two buttons (labeled braille and simbraille) to the visual editor in admin.

`//custom braille font buttons for tinyMCE
function braille_add_buttons( $plugin_array ) {
$plugin_array[‘braille’] = plugins_url( ‘/js/nba-editor.js’, __FILE__ );
return $plugin_array;
}
function braille_register_buttons( $buttons ) {
array_push( $buttons, ‘braille2000’, ‘simbraille’ );
return $buttons;
}
function braille_font_buttons() {
add_filter( “mce_external_plugins”, “braille_add_buttons” );
add_filter( ‘mce_buttons’, ‘braille_register_buttons’ );
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘braille_font_buttons’ ); `

I found another post in the bbPress forum from somebody else trying to do the same thing (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hook-into-bbpress-teeny-mce/) and someone suggested applying a filter to bbp_get_teeny_mce_buttons but that poster couldn’t get it working and I can’t figure out how to adapt the already working code I have to this either. I think eventually that poster found a work around but I really need to get this working so any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’m using bbPress 2.5.8 on WordPress 4.3. If you need any additional info I’m happy to supply it, just ask. Thanks in advance for any help!

Add this to your functions.php file in your child theme or functionality plugin to remove the display name changer in bbPress and also WordPress.

add_action('show_user_profile', 'remove_display_name');
add_action('edit_user_profile', 'remove_display_name');

function remove_display_name($user) { 
    
    if ( bbp_is_single_user_edit() ) {   
        ?>
        	<script>
        		jQuery(document).ready(function() {
        			jQuery('#display_name').parent().hide();
        		});
        	</script>
        <?php 
        
    } else {
        ?>
        	<script>
        		jQuery(document).ready(function() {
        			jQuery('#display_name').parent().parent().hide();
        		});
        	</script>
        <?php }
        
}

1. How can I get people visiting on the website to login in or register and view their profile? Whenever I look at my website in incognito mode, there is no sign up or register button or view profile button.

You may need to add login or register menu items, or you can use the bbPress login widget and add links to your default WordPress register page or the page you put the [bbp-reigster] shortcode.

2. If people can register, how can can that registered person create a new topic? I can’t seem to find that tab thing on bbpress on my website.

What tab thing? just scroll at the bottom of a forum you created and you should see a topic form.

3. How can I make the forum so that only registered people can reply and non registered people to only look at the forum?

I think as long as you do not have any private forums or enable anonymous posting you can do this by default.

4.How can i get registered users to unsubscribe

You are not really specific on what to subscribe to, but you can unsubscribe to forums and topics by following this guide. You can only unsubscribe to forums and topics if you are already subscribed to them though.

Subscriptions

In other words how can i make the forum on my page like the one on bbpress ?

Hard work and custom development.

[Robkk]

Try a default theme. All plugins deactivate except only bbPress.

I have no idea why you think private groups would help users to post, which should be in bbPress by default.

Make sure you users have the participant role and not something like spectator. You can check their forum roles in Users > All users in the WordPress backend.

Hi, I’m making a page on my website that will contain a list of forums. I know how I can add the forum list on the menu, but I have a few problems:

1. How can I get people visiting on the website to login in or register and view their profile? Whenever I look at my website in incognito mode, there is no sign up or register button or view profile button.

2. If people can register, how can can that registered person create a new topic? I can’t seem to find that tab thing on bbpress on my website.

Hi bb support,

I cant seem to work out how to change the page title of my Forum Index page (bit of a newbie).

It currently says, “Archive” but my wordpress page title is “Insight”

Please help 🙂

Thank you,

I think this plugin would be better for bbPress in my opinion. It works by setting up the display widget by widget though I think.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/restrict-widgets/

[Robkk]

This one is tough but it has to do with using <?php wpautop() ?>. Also know that the user description field is just a field inherited from the WordPress default profile fields.

Hi,

I am hoping that someone here will be able to help with this as it’s a rather frustrating issue and I can’t figure out why it’s happening to start with.

I have set my forum to the ‘rating level’ that will accept posts using phrases such as ‘porn’ and curse words…that being the case I was rather surprised when someone attempted to create a thread in a forum using a jokey phrase including the word porn and it wouldn’t allow the user to post. I checked the post, checked all the settings (I have no words in the blacklist – the forums are monitored almost 24/7 and we have a rather exclusive membership so I felt this was unnecessary at the present time) and there seems to be nothing amiss so the reasons for this being done are a mystery to me. I am able to add the extra words in the sentence in the CMS but this is not something I wish to have to do every time someone wants to refer to something specific like this.

Is there a reason why this would be happening?

I have recently upgraded to the latest versions of Buddypress (2.3.2.1) and BBpress (2.5.8) and also was upgraded to WordPress 4.3.

The site is set up to work with the Make template but I have tested this on the other templates and as it works when I remove a single word from the actual post I know that it HAS to be some hidden filter somewhere that I am unable to remove.

My site is found at http://www.bewitching-fiction.com

[demonboy]

I am confused as to how to make a ‘contributor’ of wordpress automatically a ‘participant’ in the forum. How do I automate this? I am using BuddyPress, bbpress and User Role Editor plugin. At the moment even if they are a participant I have to manually go through each user and change their access to each element of the forum which, by default, is all set to ‘deny’ so that a participant can’t even see the forum.

Hello
I will use private groups for workshops of my courses. For one course there is about 500 subscriber to the private forum and I can’t imagine accepting them one by one or adding them one by one. I want them to send a request within a period of time and I need to accept all the requests with one click. Is this possible???

I’m using wordpress 4.3 and bbpress 2.5.6 buddypress 2.2.2.1
my site: http://www.estrogenat.com

[demonboy]

Rob, I don’t wish to be funny but I have many years of web development and wordpress experience! The cache plugin is most definitely not activated.

This is a new website. I wonder if this has something to do with servers not pointing or updating correctly.

[richard.wil]

Ive finally had some progress!!!! Finally getting something in the status box other than the ‘starting conversion’ lol

I ended up installing another instance of wordpress in an old version: 3.9 and then installed bbpress plugin old version: 2.5.4

Then when I did the import from the phpbb3 forums I had the import actually start! I think it must have been some compatibility issues on newer versions.

However I did run into a fair few errors. I got a few errors where I had to click start conversion again and then it would get another error and have to click start again.

It finally finishes but seems to have only imported replies and there are no forums or topics and the user accounts don’t import either.

Wondering if anyone might know why and if anyone can decipher the output I get below?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Nope, it is very definitely disabled. Also I loaded a new WordPress install with NO plugins activated (or even installed) bar bbpress and the same problem persisted.

Hello everyone. I have posted several times on the wordpress.org job board – each time I am flooded with responses from all over the world. In the past 3 months or so I have hired 4 different devs – ALL of which have flaked out on the project or for one reason or another were unable to complete the task. My project is now well behind schedule due to this. I thought I’d ask for help here instead, since I know we have a lot of members who really know their bbPress stuff. Here’s what I’m hoping to implement:

1. When using the “reply” button within topics, I would like the username in which you are replying to, to auto-generate in the text box(@username)

2. Add a drop down to the new topic form – this would create color specific background to the topics. For example topic types would be: discussion, photo, link, music, quote, and it would correspond with a specific background color when the new topic is actually posted. Let me know if that makes sense.

If anyone has any knowledge on how to make this happen, please let me know. I would be delighted to work with someone with who is capable and willing. Thank you!

(mods, please don’t delete…this is a job posting, but I really need someone who is qualified instead of mass responses without the proper skills set)

Also know instead of placing code in your child theme you could paste any custom CSS in the many custom css plugins or the custom CSS module in Jetpack for example, and PHP code functions into a plugin like functionality.

Alright just so you know I can’t really do Admin access type stuff anymore, I am following some guide from the WordPress.org codex about moderators not needing to gain admin access because they will be going too far, its something like that. I also got a talking to, to stop doing it by some people on this site to, I mostly helped with commercial products because I could find the issue faster if I am more hands on and find a bbPress/theme/plugin bug faster, than telling the users to just ask the theme/plugin author. Plus in this case I do not really need to have an admin account, so you can delete that account you created for me again.

From what I can see the downloaded theme is Jolene and you can just edit the Biker theme since it is already a child theme. If the Biker theme is frequently being updated (which it really shouldn’t), then I guess creating a grandchild theme like what you are doing would be the best approach.

[Robkk]

Link to a forum that should have topics.

Do you have topics present in the backend of WordPress??

[demonboy]

Hi Rob,

As I said (in an edit of my OP, which you may have missed), I have tried a number of different themes, including twenty fifteen, twenty fourteen, twenty twelve, Avada, Oceanic… they all demonstrate the same symptoms, and Avada even supports bbpress (as does, I assume, the WordPress themes). All themes are latest versions.

[demonboy]

I know this is a subject that’s well documented but I can’t work out why my topics and replies are not appearing.

After posting a new topic or reply my posts are not displaying unless I change the theme. This would suggest a cache issue on the WP end but I’ve disabled all plugins, including WP Super Cache and Akismet.

This is a clean install of WordPress with a new database on a brand new URL and I’ve tried refreshing the permalinks. I have tried a number of different themes, from the WordPress ones to Avada. This is not a theme issue.

If I have no plugins running (apart from bbpress of course) and no cache plugins, what might be causing this?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi aikichick2012,
Do you get other notifications from wordpress (like the ones mentioned by Robkk) ? So are you getting other messages but not the ones from bbpress ?
Pascal.

[imsmarketing]

bbPress 2.5.7 and 2.5.8 do not work with latest versions of WordPress CMS and WP Client plugin.

Will work fine if WP Client plugins are deactivated but as soon as they are activated the forum breaks.

Any ideas?
